Indivisibles,
Last week, Trump previewed exactly how he’s going to tank his popularity
and kickstart a backlash to his presidency almost as soon as he takes
office.
Many factors contributed to Trump’s victory, but ultimately he won the
election because voters were angry about inflation and believed Trump
would lower prices. Some were true MAGA believers, sure. But most just
wanted cheaper gas and food.
Well, on Wednesday, Time released an interview where [ [link removed] ]Trump admitted
he’s got no real plan for lowering costs on groceries and might not even
try.
Then the next day, he showed up to ring the bell for the New York Stock
Exchange -- and promised Wall Street he was going to prioritize slashing
corporate tax rates.
In one 24-hour cycle, you’ve got the incoming president pledging to pull
out all the stops to help the rich get richer while reneging on his
promise to help working-class families. It’s a pretty politically toxic
combination that won’t sit well with the vast majority of voters.
A lot of people are going to be disillusioned very quickly -- and it’s
going to be our job to use that disillusionment to break up the fragile
GOP coalition and rebuild ours.
The Indivisible movement was forged for moments like this. We united not
just in opposition, but in a shared vision for a future that acknowledges
and addresses the needs of every citizen, not just the privileged few.
That vision was set back by Trump’s victory, but it’s not out of reach.
The backlash to MAGA rule is coming, and our [ [link removed] ]Indivisible Guide lays out
a plan for how we can use it to score some wins on policy fights, and then
at the ballot box in 2026.
Of course, we don’t have to wait for Inauguration Day to get started --
there’s plenty of work to do right now.
And with that, check out your weekly to-dos:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your weekly to-dos
1. [ [link removed] ]Learn how to join or start an Indivisible group tomorrow, December
17 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. Are you interested in being part of a local
network of like-minded people who want to fight to protect our
freedoms, families, and futures during the next Trump administration?
Maybe you already know that you are interested in starting an
Indivisible group, but don't know what the first steps are? Join us on
this call, where we’ll give a brief overview of Indivisible, go over
the first steps to building a local network, and tell you how to begin
taking action in your community, supported by a national movement.
2. [ [link removed] ]Tell your representative to push for the publication of the Equal
Rights Amendment (ERA). The Equal Rights Amendment has cleared the
threshold for ratification, but it’s been held up because of GOP
opposition and legal debates. With just 35 days until Trump takes
office, we must do all we can to enshrine equality into our
Constitution. Call your representative today and tell them to push
President Biden and VP Harris to publish the ERA.
3. [ [link removed] ]Tell your Democratic senators to fill every judicial vacancy.
December 20 is the final day of this Congressional session, and the
Senate is on track to confirm more judges than Trump did during his
administration. That means that the pressure we’ve been putting on
Democratic senators is working -- we just need to keep it up to ensure
that they keep going. Tell your senators you expect them to put in the
long hours necessary over these next few days to get all pro-democracy
judges confirmed!
4. [ [link removed] ]Tell your Republican senators to block Kash Patel from becoming the
Director of the FBI. The FBI already has a long and troubling history
of targeting individuals who challenge power while often letting
corporate criminals go unchecked. However, appointing Patel would
entrench the worst abuses of power and turn the bureau into a tool for
political vengeance. If you have a Republican senator, contact them
today and tell them to oppose any effort to confirm Kash Patel as FBI
Director.
5. [ [link removed] ]Join our “Worth Fighting For” Mass Reportback on Thursday, December
19 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. Since Election Day, thousands of people have
joined more than 500 community gatherings to connect with neighbors
and plan for the tough work ahead. Join the mass call to hear
organizers report back on all that's happened since Election Day and
share ideas on how people can take action moving forward. Because
there's so much that's worth fighting for.
P.S. -- We've kicked off our end-of-year fundraising campaign! We have a
lot of work to do to prepare for an incoming Trump administration and we
can't do it without your support. [ [link removed] ]So, please click here to pitch in and
ensure we're ready to take on the fights to come.
